The Lover & the Beloved is a solo Indian-inspired project from the prolific talent of Donna Delory, on which she explores Sanskrit mantras in a contemporary setting. The music has an ecstatic, joyous quality with upbeat instrumentation presented using harmonium, flutes, cello, tabla and synthesizer ambience. DeLory's vocals on The Lover & the Beloved have been compared to those of Tori Amos, which is not far off - both have a unique range that sways from light and delicate to rich and deep. Guest artists include Dave Stringer and Domonic Dean Breaux.-

Donna Delory's massive and varied talent is almost mind-boggling and we're very fortunate indeed that she discovered her love for Indian music.

Sit back and enjoy the ecstatic experience of The Lover & the Beloved.
